born on 21 August 1944 at Sydney in New South Wales
My name is Peter Weir and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because, as an
independent film maker, I contributed to the 1970s revival of the Australian film industry
with my hauntingly mysterious film Picnic at Hanging Rock which I made in 1975. I
have since gone on to become internationally renowned as a film director.
